No Minnesota Viking player was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1963. The first Viking enshrined in Canton was Quarterback Fran Tarkenton in 1986. It shoud be noted that halfback Hugh McElhenny was enshrined in Canton in 1970. He played for the Vikings in the 1961-1962 season. Although McElhenny was a member of the Vikings, it was his accomplishments for the San francisco 49ers that got him elected to the Hall of Fame. ---- Maybe the question is asking for the University of Minnesota's first inductee which would be Bronko Nagurski in 1963.
